Well I didn't venture as far as I was hoping too, as light drizzle began to fall as I left the cottage. Instead I sat in the back garden under a bit of shelter and watched the "resident" Robin feeding on the bird seed I put out for it.
After it had a few seeds it flew into the neighbours Buckthorn and began singing (sub-song). A few gardens down another Robin was singing quite loudly!
Other birds noted were:
6 Herring Gull
Wood Pigeon
2 Collared Dove
1 Blackbird
1 Wren
Magpie
Carrion Crow
